A pet dog that is aggressive all of a sudden, isn't it sick?
There is a reason why dogs behave differently from usual. To attack or threaten a stranger in my family's territory, to protect myself with fear, an instinctive impulse to hunt, and so forth.
If a pet's behavior suddenly changes, you should be suspicious of health problems. In particular, if you become aggressive, you should be diagnosed more quickly as you can injure your family members and other people outside of your family.
Body condition, like a human being, is a factor that determines the mood and personality of the day.
If a pet dog suddenly becomes aggressive, it can cause many diseases to survive. The first is brain disease. If you have a disease in your brain, it can change your personality, and if you have a tumor, you risk attacking people unconsciously.
Second, it hurts. There are occasions when you bite the affected area to protect it. Finally, dementia, poor vision or hearing. Nerves that don't recognize or are sensitive to their victims can also cause aggression. For these many reasons, it is necessary to observe and care about pet dogs to prevent this phenomenon. Keep in mind that if you don't deal with this situation quickly, it could hurt your neighbors, owners and even my family.
Aggression can and does happen as a response to illness, injury, or chronic pain. I'd say it's a common trigger.
But more often than not, aggression "out of nowhere", is in reality quite obvious and predictable if you know what you're looking for.
There are all kinds of signs of aggression and discomfort that dog trainers see that escape the notice of pet owners. And when they are discussed and attention is drawn to those issues, the pet owner often gets extremely defensive. It's a tough thing to deal with as a dog training professional.
In addition to the signs being there but unnoticed, the act of punishing the precursors to aggression like growling makes those precursors go away.
Without the precursor to aggression (growling) other critters (like humans and human children) don't know to stay away. The dog freezes, noticeably to a dog trainer, but this alternate behavior goes unnoticed by the pet owner, and the dog aggresses "out of nowhere".
I'd say between the 3 of these situations, you have pretty much 100% of the dog bites covered.
The number of crosswired, bad seed dogs is small, and these kind of bad dogs rarely "turn"; they're just kind of scary and bad. If more people knew more about reading canine body language and handling dogs most all of these issues would be nipped in the bud rather early.
Thanks for drawing attention to physical malady as trigger for canine aggression. It's a truth; important to know for the pet dog handler.
Peace~
Thank you for your opinion.
An estimated 1,000,000 dogs in the U.S. have been named as the primary beneficiaries in their owner’s will.
Wow! That's great. Now we live in a world with dogs.
